“I’ve been going to Dr. Henry Chaung for years now and would really recommend him. He is thorough and attentive - he walks you through what he’s seeing, is very communicative, and is friendly and easygoing. His staff is great about being clear on estimated copays and timing. The location is also very convenient and never has too many patients overbooked. The best!”
